1. Follies (OBC, BK version)

3. The Decline and Fall of the Entire World as Seen Through the Eyes of Cole Porter
4. The Boys from Syracuse (Encores!)
5. Ballroom (OBC)

I know this isn’t entirely right. I need Bobby Short Loves Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald sings the Cole Porter Songbook, Dinah Washington’s What a Difference a Day Makes, Show Boat, some Kurt Weill, some Kander and Ebb …

It’s funny, but I only have three of my list on my phone now:

Decline and Fall
The New Yorkers
Ballroom

And where’s the room for Burton Lane?

Both Finian’s Rainbow and On a Clear Day … belong there.

After kitty cleanup, I lay down and napped for 90 minutes. Annabelle fell asleep on her pillow, and Thatch, after first lying on my chest for a bit, decided to sleep next to me.

JB has been fed. He's taken his medicine like a good birdy. He's play with his bell.

I have a recipe calling for nigella seeds, which I didn't have. So I have been looking for acceptable substitutes, which include celery seed, oregano, black sesame seeds and cumin seeds, all of which I have.

I was weeding around the spice cabinet and found an unopen jar of something called Charnushka from India. I read the back of the jar to see how to use it. Turns out it's nigella seeds.

I think I have a good idea how to use it.

John G. · « **Reply #38 on:** June 26, 2021, 08:01:52 AM »

I was also smart enough to ink in the name nigella large enough to remember what it is.

I finally got around to looking at the music for my church gig tomorrow morning. I no expert or anything, but it looks to me like there are words missing.

Should be interesting.

I like any and all the TOD selections.

singdaw · « **Reply #41 on:** June 26, 2021, 09:08:56 AM »

DR John G., why not just go for the "Ella Sings the American Songbook" complete box? That should count as only 1 selection. Problem solved!

singdaw · « **Reply #42 on:** June 26, 2021, 09:10:03 AM »

Are nigella seeds named after Nigella Lawson?

Enquiring minds want to know these things.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** June 26, 2021, 09:18:57 AM »

For those who need to know (you know who you are):

TCM began running Hitchcock films this morning, and the run continues throughout today, tonight, all day tomorrow, and through tomorrow night till about 6am Monday.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say that the amount of spam email coming to me increased notably two or three days ago, and it continues unabated.

I'm aware of this because I monitor it every day and keep my spam folder cleared out -- reason being, neither Gmail nor Apple Mail is consistent or competent at following my instructions regarding certain things that are not spam, and certain things that are. I have to watch what's going in there so as not to lose the two or three good things that, after a couple of days since I've "corrected" it yet again, begin falling right back into that accursed folder.

But man, there's been a big increase in the real spam. For whatever reason.

singdaw · « **Reply #46 on:** June 26, 2021, 09:29:20 AM »

That's a bummer, DR ChasSmith.

From everything I've read, the release of Windows 11 (at the end of this year) will make PCs look and behave a lot more like products in the Apple eco-sphere. Which is probably a good thing.

Yes, we have our own heat wave coming, probably effective tonight when it will only go down to 70. Then we're in for four days of 90 and 90+ temperatures. That's out here in the sticks, so NYC ought to be a barrel of laughs.

Is it humid there?

Has anyone eaten dried watermelon? We purchased a bag at Costco. They remind me a little bit of dried figs.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** June 26, 2021, 11:05:44 AM »

By my estimation, we're in for six consecutive days of AC use (it was originally four), which is kind of a long spell for us here.

I thought we'd be turning them on this evening, but it feels like it's about time right now. It's too bad, because the temperature is pleasant enough. But it's muggier than all hell, and I hear all hell can get pretty bad.

Jane · « **Reply #53 on:** June 26, 2021, 11:19:05 AM »

DR TCB is your AC working ok?

Jane · « **Reply #54 on:** June 26, 2021, 11:19:23 AM »

DR George will it be cool enough in your bedroom?

Jane · « **Reply #55 on:** June 26, 2021, 11:20:12 AM »

Since we had to go to the market today we skipped the gym. It is already 84 degrees and we haven't walked yet.

Jane · « **Reply #56 on:** June 26, 2021, 11:20:44 AM »

It is a few degrees cooler for us as we are on the river.

Back from an omelet and side Caesar, picking up a little package (a replacement disc for the big Ormandy set - one disc cut off abruptly so they did a replacement program) and apparently while I was gone the power went out, Kind of really annoying. Had to reset the clocks.

Jane · « **Reply #58 on:** June 26, 2021, 12:57:57 PM »

We returned from our walk. A neighbor asked when does it get hot enough that we don't walk. I said about now

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** June 26, 2021, 12:58:41 PM »

Wishing we had purchased cantaloupe or watermelon at the market I ate one of the dried watermelons. They are too sweet.
